Bonjour vous les gens épiques
It's a new week with a whole new set of probabilities & awesome paths your life can take.
Let's kickit off with great vibes for tomorrow's #FridayFeeling
See the reason that I do these Tags, is to show you that:
"Anything is possible if you've got enough Nerve." ~JK Rowling.
Ms. Rowling, Steve Jobs, Ricard Branson, Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Steven Spielberg, Trevor Noah and the list goes on and on. What do they all have in common?
They are YOU!
Yes, they started out just like you, regular, human, with regular families, regular friends, regular skills. But they Dreamed, oh boy did they ever Dream. More importantly, they put in the hard work, the maximum effort & that is truly how they ended up where they are today. You don't need 7 secrets, 20 techniques or an all weekend program to be successful. You need only realize that EVERYONE who ever accomplished anything started exactly where you will start. Once you do, all that anxiety & doubt will disappear, in its place, a beautiful and powerful Magic will start to grow.
The Magic of YOU!
So I beseech you, start to Dream again, start to Believe in You because I already do. I have faith that all of you can & will accomplish incredible and insurmountable feats. Your dream is still there, I promise you it's still there. Reach out and Soar with it.
"Let the world tremble as it senses all that you are about to accomplish"

Classic or modern?

- Listen to your instincts..ALWAYS
- My original thought was to name an accomplishment in my performing career, but it was my time as a teacher and shaping young lives that has by far been the most rewarding.
I tell my students to "Stop Marking Life"
Fellow dancers know that the term to Mark simply means that you are doing the dance, but not full- out, or to your best ability. I apply that to all facets of life. I encourage to always push outside of your comfort zone and in that moment is where we never miss potential opportunities.
- Happy from Pharrel Williams
~Complete the sentence, Happiness is…LOVE
- Cardio, play with my yorkie Mambo, talk to my mom
